It’s “Not a Home Until It’s Planted”’

RIGHT: Can you imagine a lovelier, more home-like 
“Outdoor Living Room”, enclosed with a living wall of 
shrubs and bordered with Roses, flowers and bulbs that 
radiate color, fragrance and beauty, from early spring 
until frost.

Madison, Wis. 
The Blumers’ two children are indeed lucky 
to grow up in this environment. Fortunate are 
the children who spend their impression- 
able years amid the beauty of trees, 
plants, flowers and growing things. 

These plantings as well as all the other plantings presented 
throughout this catalog, were designed and planted by the 
McKay Nursery Company. These photographs show the pleas- 
ing landscape improvements that good planting and good nur- 
sery stock can accomplish. 



OUR LANDSCAPE SERVICE 
The service facilities of our Landscape Department 
have been enlarged and improved to accommodate the 
growing demand for expert assistance in the formation 
of landscape plans. 
It is well to bear in mind that it is just as essential to 
have a good landscape plan for the home grounds 
as it is to have a plan for the construction of the dwelling 
itself. The right landscape plan, as developed by this de- 
partment, will assure you of a proper planting for your 
home. 
In rearranging your planting or in planning a detailed 
blue print of the new home beautification plans, you will 
find that our experienced Landscape Department can be 
very helpfu!. The services of this department are offered 
without charge when McKay Nursery Stock is purchas- 
ed. If you are planning any elaborate planting, it will be 
worth your while to secure the complete details of this 
plan, either from the McKay representative when he 
calls, or by writing direct to the McKay Nursery Com- 
pany. 


ABOVE 
Look at this house before planting; 
while embodying very good architecture, 
it still looks lonesome and unfinished. 
. 
Look at the result after planting, demonstrating 
the magic teuch of good landscaping, whether 
your house is of stone, brick or wood; whether it 
be a mansion or a cottage.

RIGHT: This photo portrays an older home 
that was built in an era of 25 years past. In its 
day, its architecture and style were considered the 
best of the period. 
Its owner thought well enough of this home to 
modernize its landscape architectural setting, and 
thereby transform its appearance from that 
of “just another house” to one more in harmony 
with today’s better homes. 
Possibly you have just such a home and grounds 
that our landscape architects can help you modern- 
ize and transform.
